Which "table height thing", exactly? Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "divided equally". But table cell height is notoriously difficult to control. CSS2 has the min-height and max-height attributes, but they aren't implemented in most browsers yet. If you want to force a table cell to be at least a certain height, currently the best way to do this is to use a spacer image to force the row to that height. If you want a table cell to be at most a certain height, you're basically out of luck. Pretty much all you can do is make sure the cell is wide enough to contain the content so the content doesn't force it to expand vertically.
